First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone :) [Just remember, neither rain nor hail nor major holidays will keep Sunspots from being delivered] Now, the 'yucky administrative' stuff: I would really appreciate it if every place that redistributes Sunspots (in the Digest form) would send me a note specifying (a) the redistribution address (b) the contact who is nominally taking care of running the redistribution (c) everyone who is on that list (d) where you get your copy of Sunspots from and (e) what part of the net you are trying to cover with your redistribution. This will accomplish several things: first, I will be able to get a more complete idea of how many people actually see the digestified form. Second, I will be able to correctly send people to a redistribution list instead of adding them here at Rice if a redistribution exists which is serving their site. Finally, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I will be able to track down some of the bounced mail I get (Sunspots returns mail 'by the bushels' a lot of which I can't track to people on my lists). If everyone that is running a redistribution could do this, I would really appreciate it, and it would make the whole system (of redistribution work more efficiently and smoothly). Individuals that receive the Digest (ie: if you are the only one that reads the copy you get) don't need to reply to this, just those people that send it on to one or more additional users. Please mail all information to me directly at the below address, not to Sunspots. Thanks, and enjoy your holidays.
